PEN’s Indie Book Fair to Unfold on Washington Mews – Fri., May 3

April 23, 2013

A vibrant indie book fest, part of the PEN World Voices Festival of International Literature, will unfold from morning to evening at New York University on Friday, May 3, enticing visitors to stroll the storied, cobblestoned Washington Mews, browse tables where literary magazines and independent presses will proffer the work of up-and-coming writers, or take in busking musicians or a lively puppet show.

NYU’s International Houses along the Washington Mews and in the vicinity will open their doors for readings and discussions sure to excite the literary passions and tickle the muse of any lover of novels, memoirs and verse.

What follows is a schedule of the indie book fair events (while the full PEN Festival runs from April 29-May 5). All of the Washington Mews happenings are free and open to the public. Washington Mews is nestled between University Place and Fifth Avenue, just north of Washington Square Park. For detailed information and updates on the fest, please visit www.worldvoicesfesival.org.
